Hate to skip a month with the observer's challenge, but I don't really see any other choice. Anyone else have a plan?<BR>

Fred,<BR> <BR>I may be able to observe again M-27 again tonight, but at this point I have not been able to see the fine detail set forth by Rob on the website, and also the descriptions from John Mallas.<BR> <BR>I am not pleased with my previous 20 observational sessions, notes and sketches either.<BR> <BR>Maybe we need to extend M-27 till next month. The weather may improve for all of us. <BR> <BR>M-2 will be in a better position in September than August. <BR> <BR>Thoughts? <BR> <BR>Am leaving my house and will be back later in the evening.<BR> <BR>roger<BR><FONT face=Arial> <BR><FONT size=4></FONT> </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial> <BR><BR> <BR></FONT><EM><FONT face=Arial><STRONG> </STRONG></FONT>The moon and stars to govern the night.....

Rob,<BR> <BR>Yeah, never bothered. And, unfortunately, I won't be able to go out next weekend. So I'm writing off my ability to contribute observations the challenge for this month. I may be able to contribute notes from years past, but nothing current. I know Roger nailed it last night, but I hope some others somwewhere also did.<BR> <BR>So is the erratic weather here!<BR> <BR>Fred<BR><BR> <BR>> Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 23:47:37 -0700<BR>> From: scopegeek@gmail.com<BR>> To: lvas@lvlug.org<BR>> Subject: Re: [Lvas] Redstone Tonight?<BR>> <BR>> Well, those of you that decided early to not go out tonight were the <BR>> wiser of the bunch. We set up at Sandstone and saw enough stars to <BR>> align - some got to see Saturn before it disappeared in the clouds - and <BR>> that was it. Waited until a little after 10:00 for the clouds to break. <BR>> Lightning started to flash all around us, so we packed up and it started <BR>> raining just as we were putting the last items of equipment in our <BR>> cars. Some decided to stay and watch the lightning and check out some <BR>> developing breaks in the clouds. As I pulled off the Scenic Drive onto <BR>> the main road back into town, I stopped and looked up - the breaks were <BR>> gone and the sky was completely clouded over. Glad I left when I did.<BR>> <BR>> Some of the guys are going to Armagosa Valley next weekend. May try to <BR>> make it with them, since I haven't done my Observer's Challenge Object <BR>> for this month.<BR>> <BR>> Will have some suggestions for future Challenge Objects for you to <BR>> consider probably tomorrow.<BR>> <BR>> Take care.<BR>> <BR>> Rob<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Ryan Rogers wrote:<BR>> > im heading up to armagosa dosnt ook to ba up that way so far<BR>> ><BR>> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>> > *From:* David Blanchette <Yahoo@awit.com><BR>> > *To:* Las Vegas Astronomical Society <lvas@lvlug.org><BR>> > *Sent:* Saturday, July 18, 2009 3:18:51 PM<BR>> > *Subject:* Re: [Lvas] Redstone Tonight?<BR>> ><BR>> > Clear Sky Clock (Echo Bay and Red Rocks) are both hideous for <BR>> > tonight.
